Svake godine u Seattleu, na Locus Weekendu, dodjeljuje se jedna od najprestižnijih žanrovskih književnih nagrada – Locus Award. Prateći nominacije i pobjednike možete na najjednostavniji način doći do popisa literature koju trebate pročitati ove godine, pogotovo zato što nagrade ne dodjeljuje nikakav specifičan žiri, već čitatelji magazina za znanstvenu fantastiku Locus. Jasno je da najbolje odabire prave upravo fanovi žanra pa svakako bacite oko na ovogodišnje pobjednike:
